The Uganda Premier League is back in action on Thursday, March 13, promising an exhilarating set of fixtures as teams jostle for points before the upcoming international break.
With battles for survival and top positions intensifying, fans can expect nothing short of thrilling football drama across the country.
One of the most anticipated clashes of the day will see league newcomers Mbale Heroes FC welcome Lugazi FC to Mbale Municipal Stadium for a 4 PM kickoff.
The hosts, currently languishing at the bottom of the table, are desperate to turn their season around, especially after suffering a heavy 5-0 defeat to KCCA FC in their previous match.
Their form since the start of the second round has been far from impressive, and they will be hoping that home advantage can tilt the odds in their favor.
Meanwhile, Lugazi FC has shown remarkable improvement, securing victories in three of their last four matches, with their only setback being a 2-0 loss to NEC FC.
With this impressive run, they will be aiming to continue their upward trajectory against a struggling Mbale Heroes side.
The two teams have previously faced off three times, with Mbale Heroes winning once and the other two encounters ending in stalemates.
Their last meeting at Lugazi FC Stadium saw them share the spoils in a 1-1 draw, with Gideon Etou finding the net for Mbale Heroes while Derrick Mwanje salvaged a point for Lugazi FC.
Elsewhere, KCCA FC faces a tricky test as they make a lengthy journey to Bombo Military Ground to take on UPDF FC.
Additionally, Express FC will be looking to assert dominance when they welcome Police FC to HAMZ Stadium in Nakivubo.
With both sides having a point to prove, this fixture is bound to produce exciting football moments.
